Thanks for that Andy. I will await the results of DTR's survey

@DTR Very kind. No hurry. Mark

This is my solution. Easy to adjust/remove and gets great tension. £2 on eBay. The ends were originally eyes and I cut them in half to make the "U" shape

Has anyone got the desire to measure the exact dimensions of the smaller one that fits on the sliding section? I need to make one, and would like it to be original dimensions.

I reckon my guide is actually from a Startrite bandsaw without a mitre slot, like this one: With my cunning adapter wot my mate is knocking up, I will be able to swap the mitre guide between my table saw and a bandsaw. Which I don't have.

@kinsella Very kind offer. Fortunately I have a pal that makes model engines and I have asked him to knock me up one of these: It will replace the round green thingy and will have two holes drilled and tapped on the flat bottom. The 1/2" diameter stub slides into the main body and is secured...

@kinsella =D>

Actually, looking at these two pics I think I can just get some 5/8" bar, drill a couple of holes, countersink them tap and drill 2 holes in the base of the guide and I've got myself a pukka "Smartrite" fence for my TA175

Just found this (crappy) pic on the web. I reckon it could be for a bandsaw. The T-slot bit attaches to the fence rail and the cylindrical rod is pushed forwards, sliding through the bushing on the L-shaped bit. Any one else care to guess?

I can't see how a 5/8" bar (that would slide in the saw table's slot) would be fixed to the guide's base?

Curioser Here's another couple of photos

Mock Please put me out of my misery and tell me how it fits? I used to pride myself in an ability to see how things fit together, but now I feel clueless! My 175 has a sliding table so I thought it might attach to that in some way? The only "progress" I made was to note the the slot in the...

Thanks funman. Any idea which one? I've got a 175 with a sliding table and it's possible that the mitre fence came with it, however I am damned if I know how it fits! Any ideas?

I've had this kicking around the workshop for years (it doesn't fit any of my gear) so I should sell it. Trouble is I cannot remember what it came off? Any ideas? The "T" shaped piece that looks like it should go into a slot is 5/8" x 7/16". The only marking is a TS cast into the bottom. In the...

Thanks Simon. It is on "your" rebuild thread that we are now posting! I found it when searching for info on bearings for my BAOS. I read the details of your bearing refit and had a couple of questions. Did you insert the (cold) bearing in the (hot) cast iron housing, and then attach the...

Thanks Kirk. There are no grease nipples. It's a "sealed for life type". What do you mean about the drive belt taking a "set"? The belt is actually a bit ropey and I am intending to change it ( before it breaks during a job :wink: ). It has a double pulley on the cutterblock but runs just...

I have a Wakin BAO/S in pretty good condition, but feel that the cutterblock bearings are a bit "grumbly". It makes a fair old row when running. I have disconnected the drive belt to isolate motor from cutterblock noise, and it's definitely the cutterblock. There is no play that I can see or...
